Is $7500 tax credit lost if you are subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax?

I have to check with my accountant regarding the $7500 federal tax credit on the Model S. I was talking to two different auto dealers (Toyota and Chevy) regarding the Pruis plug-in model and the Volt. The dealers indicated there is a federal tax credit for the vehicles. However, they stated that if one is subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax, you lose the federal tax credit. Anyone know whether this is correct. I have been subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax for years (an assume many on this site are also subject to it), and if the tax credit is lost, the cost of the Model S has just become $7500 more expensive than I expected. Any accountants out there?

I think that's a load of BS from the dealers. Didn't Toyota run out of their credits a while ago?
My accountant looked it up when he prepared my 2011 return (just to evaluate what to expect for 2012). There was no mention of AMT restrictions.

Furthermore, considering many of Tesla's customers (current and future) also are subject to the AMT, so I seriously doubt they'd be able to talk up the credit as much as they have.

It is my understanding that the $7,500 EV credit is NOT subject to AMT reductions.

This is different from the old hybrid decuction which was subject to AMT, so some dealers could be confused about it.
But, seek a second opinion! I am NOT a tax advisor.

Also, on the MyNissanLEAF forum a lot of buyers reported having SNAFUs with their filings, having the credit rejected by the IRS due to processing errors. Many are working to straighten it out.
Mine sailed through without any hassles.

At the very bottom of the article, it says: "Q. Does the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) impact the alternative motor vehicle credit?A. Starting in 2009, the new law allows the alternative motor vehicle credit, including the tax credit for purchasing hybrid vehicles, to be applied against the alternative minimum tax. Prior to the new law, the alternative motor vehicle credit could not be used to offset the AMT.
